    A wizard appears. In the screen Select Devices, the devices section of the structure tree is shown.
  2. Select the device whose log files you want to save and click Next.
    The screen Select a target directory for the zipped files is shown.
  3. Select a target directory and click Next.
    The log files are collected from the device and zipped. The file path is shown.
  4. Click Finish.
